Now, when people shout “Newton Faulkner” at me in the street, I think I’m OK with it. What a dude.

Shitty Jobs.

This is about 100-vias, but I was sent this by the captain of the ship SS Buffalo today. Credit where it’s due – comment to get your fill.

My job is so fucking unbelievable. I’ll try to sum it up by first telling you about the folks I work with:

First, there is this supermodel wanna-be chick. Yeah, okay, she is pretty hot, but damn is she completely useless. The girl is constantly fixing her hair or putting on makeup. She is extremely self-centered and has never once considered the needs or wants of anyone but herself. She is as dumb as a box of rocks, and I still find it surprising that she has enough brain power to continue to breathe.

The next chick is completely the opposite. She might even be one of the smartest people on the planet. Her career opportunities are endless, and yet she is here with us. She is a zero on a scale of 1 to 10. She might be a lesbian.

But the jewel in the crown has got to be this fucking stoner. And this guy is more than just your average pothead. In fact, he is baked before he comes to work, during work, and I’m sure after work. He probably hasn’t been sober anytime in the last ten years, and he’s only 22. He dresses like a beatnik throwback from the 1960′s, and to make things worse, he brings his big fucking dog to work. Every fucking day I have to look at this huge Great Dane walk around half-stoned from the second-hand smoke. Hell, sometimes I even think it’s trying to talk with its constant bellowing. Also, both of them are constantly hungry, requiring multiple stops to McDonalds and Burger King, every single fucking day.

Anyway, I drive these idiots around in my van and we solve mysteries and shit.

Flies love to torment Amelie by sitting on the window ledge. She goes absolutely mad for them; it’s hilarious.

I’m not normally one to just post a video on my blog, but this is fucking hilarious.

Turns out, you can make a kitten spin using a laser pen. This is regularly very funny, and I feel it may be the turning point of my evening for the next few years!

On an unrelated note, I got an email from Portsmouth Developer and blogger, David Otton yesterday. He’s trying to kick start a South Coast developer blogging network, so if you fit that remit, get in touch with him and make we can get some sort of directory and syndication of all our nonsensical geekery going.
